: Why are we sitting here?

: SAM
: [taking a drink] You sat down.

: BILLY

: SAM
: He?s not going anywhere, Billy. It?s a non-story.

That's got to be a record for the longest question...
"Run the table" (from pocket billiards) and "deep background" (from journalism) are both in the archives, and can be easily found in the search box on the previous page. "Secret pumpkin" is a referenc
e to a spy scandal from 1948. See http://www.crimelibrary.com/terrorists_spies/spies/hiss/7.html?sect=23 for a summary. "Bite me" is an insult that has morphed over the last ten years from shocking to common to passé. "Come close to" is literal: approach, come near to.
